Do they work with mountain bikes? Can you go hard on them or do you have to be careful not to tip over? |
They are ok, but you may not get much of a workout on them as the resistance levels on the cheap ones dont really...well...resist. A fluid trainer will give you the best results if you are using it for fitness. As you spin faster, the more resistance it builds and you'll find it is a better way to train.
A mag trainer will be ok but after a while it won't provide you with the resistance you need as good as a fluid trainer. Don't get me wrong it will be fine for basic use.
As for getting on or off, they are pretty sturdy, but you some caution getting on or off the bike. When you on it, you do feel fairly solid.
These are compatible and adjustable for all adult bikes.
I have a CycleOps fluid trainer
